11
00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 1: now doing radio for a ESPN. I could have probably

12
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 1: done other than that. Huh. There's a few. Yeah, I mean,

13

Speaker 1: Jet like bring it back. Yeah, I need I need

15
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 1: a guy from back in the day, not a not

16
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:17,840
Speaker 1: a current guy. All right, let's we had a lot

17
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:20,480
Speaker 1: to jump into today. We are, uh, coming off the

18
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 1: Cowboys off, calling off the NFL's Week one of the

19
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 1: season yesterday was full slate of games. It's actually nice

20
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:29,039
Speaker 1: to sit back and actually watch football all day on

21
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 1: a Sunday because the Cowboys game was over. But we'll

22
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:35,120
Speaker 1: start getting you guys ready this week for a week

23
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:38,039
Speaker 1: number two. But today we're gonna kind of do a

24
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 1: little bit more of unpacking what happened last week with

25
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:44,680
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. Um, I wanted to start first talking about

26
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 1: some some news items. Lyle Collins, we find out at

27
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 1: the end of last week has now been suspended for

28
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 1: five games, or at least that is what's being reported,

29
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 1: for violating the substance abuse policy. Um, what's your Dallas

30
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 1: do it right? Tackle? Well, sorry, you kind of glossed over.

31
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 1: There's a lot going on with the Lyle Collins things

32
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 1: more than just that. Now if he does miss five games,

33
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:14,080
Speaker 1: and he's gonna miss something that I want Dave, because

34
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 1: I mean it's this is this has got about twelve

35
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:19,520
Speaker 1: layers took. There's a lot happening here and so by

36
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:22,359
Speaker 1: the time I would imagine by the end of the day,

37
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 1: there'll be some different things shaken out here. There's just

38
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 1: a lot of dots to connect. Um, there's an appeal

39
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:33,080
Speaker 1: process here. Did the NFL jump the gun? Did they

40
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,919
Speaker 1: announce something that they should have? Is he even should

41
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:39,240
Speaker 1: he be suspended at all. I'm telling you that there's

42
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 1: a lot happening here. Nick's trying to be nice. I

43
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 1: think the Cowboys are pissed, and and I don't. I mean,

44
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't have information for you that can

45
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 1: get to the bottom of it. It's obviously a very

46
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 1: murky situation. But this whole thing is weird, and you

47
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 1: can the team's pissed. I'm sure Lyle is pissed. Um

48
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 1: And I, yeah, I don't. I don't know the first

49
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 1: about that, like whether or not the NFL jumped the gun,

50
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:06,080
Speaker 1: whether or not Lyle Collins needs to be suspended for

51
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 1: five games, And yeah, I mean, I don't. Do you

52
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 1: have you heard something new since Friday? Because I have no, not,

53
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 1: not really. But there's just like with anything in life,

54
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:21,359
Speaker 1: COVID is also factoring into this too, because just just

55
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 1: with COVID that there's something about a COVID protocol that

56
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 1: he could have been on that that changes. Again, we're

57
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:31,520
Speaker 1: supposed to know the information, and I apologize that we

58
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 1: really don't. I don't know as much as I should.

59
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 1: I'll tell you this, there are a lot of moving

60
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 1: parts in this. Um. Let's just say that he is

61
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,839
Speaker 1: suspended because he got a game to play. NFL moves

62
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 1: on and he probably won't play. But I just know

63
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 1: that this is probably not as much as the Zeke

64
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 1: thing was back in twenty seventeen, where we're on off,

65
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 1: on off, but it's got that kind of murkiness to it.

66
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 1: I've asked a couple of people, and I've kind of

67
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 1: got that stiff farm like, don't even don't even go

68
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 1: there yet. There's just so much do we are supposed

69
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 1: to know these things? But this is a situation where

70
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 1: I don't feel bad about not knowing, Like it's all

71
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 1: it gets weird with with these like league team conflicts,

72
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 1: you know. I mean, remember how much legal reading we

73
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,480
Speaker 1: had to do to even try to decipher the Zeke stuff.

74
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:23,160
Speaker 1: And nobody on either side wants to help you in

75
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 1: this because it's a legal issue and all sorts of

76
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:30,719
Speaker 1: you know, weird stuff going on that they would probably

77
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:34,039
Speaker 1: rather people aren't snooping into. So this is a situation

78
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 1: where it's hard to get answers, but I am curious

79
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 1: to see where it goes. Yeah, and so I guess

80
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:40,919
Speaker 1: what I'm going back to. The first what I'm taking

81
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:44,840
Speaker 1: from this is five games May may not happen. At

82
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 1: this point, there's still just a lot up in the air,

83
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:50,360
Speaker 1: and I don't want to be in a final resolution

84
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:52,160
Speaker 1: to whatever the issues are on both. But I don't

85
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 1: want to give people like It's kind of like Zach

86
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 1: with COVID, Like, well, Jerry said he might play yeah,

87
00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 1: Like I don't want to give people false hope, like well,

88
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 1: David Nicks that it's gonna be less than five games, Like,

89
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:04,359
Speaker 1: I don't know that. And I know, if I know anything,

90
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:08,159
Speaker 1: the League is very stubborn and firm about like not

91
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:11,160
Speaker 1: going back when they're wrong, right, No, even they will

92
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:13,599
Speaker 1: go down with their ship in the in an effort

93
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 1: to not look wrong. They do it all the time.

94
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 1: So you know, maybe they completely screwed Lyle Collins over.

95
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 1: I don't know, Maybe Lyle screwed this up. I don't

96
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:24,479
Speaker 1: really know, but I have a hard time believing the

97
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 1: league is they're gonna do everything in their power to

98
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,279
Speaker 1: not backtrack on this. If I had to guess, yeah,

99
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 1: And I think the reason why all that's important is

100
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 1: that goes back to your question, because if it's just

101
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:39,839
Speaker 1: a straight five games in the story, five games, then

102
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 1: then you make a different decision if it's maybe not,

103
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:46,279
Speaker 1: if it's maybe one, if it could be two, it

104
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:48,920
Speaker 1: could be back and forth. Now I think you have

105
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 1: to Okay, well paint both those scials. Let's assume for

106
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 1: a second five it's five games, as it's been reported.

107
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 1: What happens? What do you do it? Right tackle? And

108
00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,120
Speaker 1: let me be let me be clear. I'm asking you,

109
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:01,480
Speaker 1: what do you nick and day? What would you do

110
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 1: at right tack? I hate that answer because what I

111
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 1: do it doesn't matter. No, it matters for the sake

112
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 1: of a radio show and we're talking, we're supposed to

113
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:11,159
Speaker 1: give opinions. Tell me what you would do in the

114
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 1: instance that this was a five game. If it was me,

115
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:16,719
Speaker 1: I would have gone to Zach Martin on Friday and said,

116
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, man, I know you don't want to do

117
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 1: this and it sucks like it's a bummer. We're one

118
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 1: game into the season and we're already dealing with this.

119
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:26,840
Speaker 1: But if we're gonna not have LC for five weeks,

120
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 1: i'd like you to I'd like you to start practicing

121
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 1: it right tackle. Have we thought about maybe making him

122
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:33,719
Speaker 1: a manager? That was actually a good way to do it,

123
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 1: Like come on seeing and sit down like it, I

124
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 1: really need to. I'm just as unhappy about this, right.

125
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 1: I know, I know that you're not gonna like this,

126
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:42,480
Speaker 1: but this is what we gotta do for the team.

127
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 1: Let's go together. We can get this done. That's what

128
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 1: I would do. Yeah, I don't think the Cowboys will,

129
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 1: at least not yet. I would start Terence Steal at

130
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 1: right tackle and I would have Zach Martin at right guard.

131
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 1: So I think that's what I would do. Why, um,

132
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 1: And I think I'm looking at this matchup more than

133
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 1: any of the matchups. Okay, I'm looking at this one. Um.

134
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 1: I think he's probably better than Tiansecki from what I've seen.

135
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 1: I don't I don't know. I could be wrong there.

136
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 1: I just haven't seen Insecki do a lot. He just

137
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:19,679
Speaker 1: seems kind of too big and lumbering and just doesn't

138
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 1: seem like a wrong I would. I would. If we're

139
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 1: not moving things around, I'd rather play Steal than yatsek Um.

140
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 1: I'd like Steele with with Zack Martin. Um. I think

141
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 1: he's got quick feet, quicker feet. I think he's gonna

142
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 1: go out. He's gonna go against Bosa. I mean, obviously

143
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 1: that would be a tough one, But I just, you know,

144
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 1: I think that's what I would do because I want

145
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 1: my all Pro guard to be an All Pro and

146
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:47,559
Speaker 1: I want him at guard. If he's at right tackle,

147
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 1: I don't know if he's an All Pro. I think

148
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 1: he's good. You don't think when he played last year

149
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 1: at that position, he played at that kind of level.

150
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 1: I'm not ready to say that. I don't even know

151
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 1: about that level. He didn't play really well. I mean,

152
00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:00,200
Speaker 1: I remember the Seattle game he winning there, he played well. Um,

153
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 1: if this is just what I know what not watching

154
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 1: a lot of the tape and film and all that,

155
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 1: they have to decide, they have to they look at

156
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 1: it and go steal or insecty whatever they decide, and

157
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 1: then Zach Martin inside and also Zack Martin inside with

158
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 1: Tyler Beiannest. Don't forget that aspect of it too. Zach

159
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:20,560
Speaker 1: next to Tyler. It also could help because he needs

160
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 1: some help too. Um, they have to decide what's better

161
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 1: between that or McGovern staying where he has give him

162
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 1: another good start there, and then sliding Zach Martin. Now,

163
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 1: I mean they Joe Philbin's a really good offensive line coach,

164
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 1: and the they'll they'll weigh all those pros and cons.

165
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:37,720
Speaker 1: I think it's close enough that we can debate about it.

166
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 1: I think we all agreed that McGovern had a good

167
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:44,680
Speaker 1: week last week. So how does this factor into the

168
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 1: whole concept of getting your best five on the field,

169
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 1: Because I think most would probably agree McGovern is a

170
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 1: better guard than Steele is a tackle. Okay, that's I

171
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 1: think that's the genesis of the argument. That's why people

172
00:08:56,640 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 1: are talking about this is. Yeah, if if McGovern can

173
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:02,679
Speaker 1: go out there against Tampa's front and play as well

174
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,320
Speaker 1: as he did, then it stands the reason that he

175
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:08,079
Speaker 1: can hold his own in there as an every down starter.

176
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 1: And he did it for eight games last year, and

177
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 1: for the most part, looked pretty good. And people are,

178
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:16,560
Speaker 1: for better or for worse, people are scarred by what

179
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:18,680
Speaker 1: they saw from the right tackle spot last year. And

180
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 1: I mean that's a big part of it as well

181
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 1: as just like I've seen this, oh, but I mean

182
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:29,200
Speaker 1: the whole like a lot of the stress from the

183
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:32,680
Speaker 1: tackles stems from that Atlanta game, which was four years

184
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:35,679
Speaker 1: ago at this no doubt, So I get it. You know,

185
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 1: I really like Connor McGovern. I think he's gonna be good,

186
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 1: But I'm not willing to say that he played well

187
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,640
Speaker 1: last week. I think they protected the heck out of

188
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 1: those offensive linemen in the middle because they didn't do

189
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:51,600
Speaker 1: anything with them. They went into the game plan saying,

190
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,400
Speaker 1: we're not even going to try. We're not trying. We're

191
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:57,560
Speaker 1: gonna go sideline to sideline. We're gonna play this way

192
00:09:57,679 --> 00:09:59,200
Speaker 1: and if it gets down to the red zone, we'll

193
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 1: take our chances in. And they really didn't win down there.

194
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 1: They had to throw it in so they to me,

195
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 1: they were a very one dimensional offense. And if that's

196
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:09,960
Speaker 1: the way the offense is gonna be, that's what it's

197
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:12,160
Speaker 1: gonna be. But I think if you put Zach in there,

198
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:14,559
Speaker 1: that you're gonna have a better chance to be a

199
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 1: little a little less one dimensional. That's why now I'm

200
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:22,200
Speaker 1: not saying that McGovern versus the Chargers won't be you know,

201
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 1: maybe they can run the ball a little bit more,

202
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 1: but they're going to have to figure out ways to

203
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 1: do that. Yeah, I mean, I do think that the

204
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 1: the when you look at just how good Tampa is

205
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 1: against the run, Yeah, I think that factors in, right,

206
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:34,880
Speaker 1: That's the big reason. Yeah, that's the big reason. That's

207
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:36,920
Speaker 1: way more reason, I think than mc govern being in there.

208
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 1: I think they probably realize we're up against that kind

209
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:42,080
Speaker 1: of defense. And by the way, the strength of that

210
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:44,800
Speaker 1: defense is right up the middle. Why would we try

211
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:49,000
Speaker 1: to run against that brick wall with a lesser set

212
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:51,960
Speaker 1: of players than just throwing the ball. But but all

213
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 1: that being said, um, what do you guys think that

214
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 1: the Cowboys will do? Because we talk about what you

215
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:58,200
Speaker 1: would do, what do you think the Cowboys will do

216
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:00,680
Speaker 1: in this instance? So again we're assuming it's five games.

217
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:04,079
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna roll with these swing tackles. I

218
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 1: don't know who. I don't know if they know who,

219
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:08,719
Speaker 1: because I mean, if you think about the preseason, they

220
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:11,439
Speaker 1: alternated Steel and Inseci all through it. They both played

221
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 1: both sides of the line, they both got different opportunities,

222
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 1: they both played deep into pretty much every preseason game.

223
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:21,560
Speaker 1: So you probably roll with the combination that you feel

224
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:24,560
Speaker 1: best about by Thursday, if I had to guess, But

225
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:26,760
Speaker 1: between those two guys, that's what I think they'll do.

226
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:31,600
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy has been pretty straightforward about and really not

227
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:35,120
Speaker 1: wanting to do drastic things unless it absolutely has to happen.

228
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 1: You know, it's interesting about the Gallop situation as well,

229
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 1: you know, Gallop out maybe three to five weeks something

230
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 1: like that. We'll get to that second. Yeah. But but but

231
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 1: but I think if factors in here, because if you

232
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 1: do play steel or Inseci, what do you think's also

233
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 1: going to happen? Tight end tight end chip and then

234
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:56,920
Speaker 1: get Zeke in there with that pass pro again, So

235
00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 1: that might change a little bit of having three receivers

236
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 1: as much out there anyways. I mean, the Gallup might

237
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 1: not have played as much as they wanted him to anyways,

238
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 1: just because you might have to go a little with

239
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:11,480
Speaker 1: two tight ends or keep tight ends in. So I mean, obviously,

240
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 1: Cedric Wilson's gonna play, and he's gonna play a lot.

241
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:16,880
Speaker 1: Noah Brown, don't forget. Noah Brown's gonna get back and play,

242
00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:18,719
Speaker 1: and I think he will help this team a lot.

243
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:21,080
Speaker 1: I've I've sort of changed my thought a little bit,

244
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 1: and I know I'm jumping ahead on your rundown, but

245
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 1: I just I think these things kind of matter because

246
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 1: it's a domino effect. We got to help the right tackle,

247
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:29,880
Speaker 1: We're gonna have to or if we don't help the

248
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 1: right tackle, we have to help inside blocking in there.

249
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 1: And then and then how does that affect with receivers

250
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 1: we have, and of course they're one big receiver down.

251
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 1: I want to I want to throw this out there too,

252
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:43,320
Speaker 1: And I think it's an underrated You're talking about things

253
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 1: being connected. This is an underrated aspect of the whole

254
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 1: thing as well. And I just said that I would

255
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 1: probably want to move Zach to tackle. But one argument

256
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:54,839
Speaker 1: for why you probably don't, or if you don't want

257
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:56,839
Speaker 1: to do that, an argument in your favor, I think,

258
00:12:56,920 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 1: is the quarterback. Honestly, Dak Prescott is good enough at

259
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 1: this point in his career that I trust him to

260
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:04,840
Speaker 1: make things work. I trust him to get the ball

261
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 1: out quickly. I trust him to make the protection, you know,

262
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:10,720
Speaker 1: call the protections to help out whoever needs it the most.

263
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:13,560
Speaker 1: He knows where the ball needs to go. He's also athletic,

264
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 1: he can extend plays. I know their record wasn't good,

265
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:19,680
Speaker 1: but the line was a shambles for the first five

266
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:22,840
Speaker 1: weeks of the season last year, and they played functional football,

267
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 1: you know. I mean it got down to the last

268
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:27,600
Speaker 1: throw of the game against Seattle in Week three and

269
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:29,920
Speaker 1: that was when Zach was playing guard and they had

270
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:31,400
Speaker 1: to do all heard tackle I mean, they had to

271
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:34,520
Speaker 1: do all this crazy stuff. I think Tyrant Tyrant was

272
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:36,079
Speaker 1: in and out of the lineup. Like Week two against

273
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 1: the Falcons, I don't believe they had either one of

274
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:40,640
Speaker 1: them right, And they only had Tyrant against the Browns.

275
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:43,680
Speaker 1: And again, I get it. They didn't win all these games,

276
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:46,320
Speaker 1: but they were moving the ball, they were scoring points

277
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 1: like the offense was doing things. And so I think

278
00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 1: that is something to consider, is that a quarterback of

279
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 1: Dak's caliber, it doesn't all need to be perfect the

280
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:57,960
Speaker 1: way it did when he was a rookie or in

281
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:00,760
Speaker 1: twenty seventeen or even probably twenty eighteen. I think I

282
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:03,640
Speaker 1: trust him so much more to make it work with

283
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:06,240
Speaker 1: less than I did even two years. I've I've heard

284
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:08,560
Speaker 1: Romo say this, if there was a wink a week

285
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 1: link on the offensive line, make it be the right tackle,

286
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 1: because I can see that. I can figure it out.

287
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 1: I could see him come in and I could you know,

288
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,319
Speaker 1: of course he could see the left tackles coming to him.

289
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:20,400
Speaker 1: I don't know, but he could do that. But I mean,

290
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 1: and and I think I think Dak is even better

291
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 1: than that and better than than Romo when it comes

292
00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:28,920
Speaker 1: to eluding that kind of stuff stronger. So I mean,

293
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:32,160
Speaker 1: I also, I think I'm going to reiterate that about

294
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 1: him in the right guard. I think he helps, and

295
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:36,160
Speaker 1: I think he'll help be Odish on this side. I

296
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 1: think he'll help the right tackle. So I think I

297
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:39,880
Speaker 1: would probably keep it and then go with my best

298
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 1: guy on the right tackle. And I just think from

299
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:47,200
Speaker 1: an athletic standpoint athleticism, I think it's steel. But you know,

300
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:51,320
Speaker 1: let's also remember that the Cowboys might have thought this

301
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 1: was coming, you know, because suspensions. Don't they sneak up

302
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 1: on fans. They shouldn't sneak up on the Cowboys. Maybe

303
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:00,840
Speaker 1: this one did. But you know, they do have three

304
00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:04,160
Speaker 1: backup tackles on the roster, one of them being Josh Ball.

305
00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:07,880
Speaker 1: But they have three, and that's that's kind of heavy. Yeah,

306
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:10,120
Speaker 1: I might have been a reason for this. I talked

307
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 1: to somebody Friday. I was like eventful afternoon. Han. They

308
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:17,960
Speaker 1: were like, well, you know these we have advanced notice

309
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:19,760
Speaker 1: of these things. I mean, it sucks, but it's not.

310
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 1: It wasn't like me who was sitting here waiting for

311
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 1: the press conference, playing crossword puzzles and all of a sudden,

312
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, Lyle's gone like it's not quite the

313
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 1: same for people on the inside. I guess all right,

314
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:32,440
Speaker 1: we're gonna take our first break when we come back.

315
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:34,520
Speaker 1: We got to talk about Michael Gallup and what the

316
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:36,920
Speaker 1: Cowboys are gonna do at wide receiver. Now it looks

317
00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:38,600
Speaker 1: like he'll be out for multiple weeks, or do that

318

Speaker 1: NFL fans here we go. Welcome back to the second

366
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:16,800
Speaker 1: segment of The Break Black. In the s WBC Mortgage

367
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:20,160
Speaker 1: Studios at the Star, we talked about Lyle Collins. Now

368
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:22,440
Speaker 1: we got to talk about Michael Gallut. That news also

369
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:24,480
Speaker 1: came out on Friday. He was injured in the Tampa

370
00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:27,960
Speaker 1: Bay game. Sounds like he's gonna be out for multiple weeks?

371
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:30,040
Speaker 1: Do we know exactly how long? Whereas it just kind

372
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 1: of right now he's going to be out multiple weeks,

373
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 1: definitely won't be playing this game. And the early prognosis

374
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:39,880
Speaker 1: was three to five. But ye, maybe they were kg

375
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:42,280
Speaker 1: about the Lyle thing, like nobody wanted to talk about

376
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:45,400
Speaker 1: anything like that on Friday, Like Mike McCarthy didn't really

377
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:49,320
Speaker 1: give us much of an updated timeline on that. Yeah,

378
00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:51,639
Speaker 1: but that, I mean, it was three to five is

379
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:55,240
Speaker 1: what I've heard, and I haven't heard anything different yet,

380
00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean, you obviously you can't go off

381
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:02,199
Speaker 1: what players tell you. I've been burned by that in

382
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:04,760
Speaker 1: the past, and you can't go off of basically what

383
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:07,959
Speaker 1: they're looking like. Mike looked fine leaving, like we were

384
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:09,919
Speaker 1: down in the tunnel waiting for a post game and

385
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:12,720
Speaker 1: they're all filing back into the locker room, and he

386
00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:14,639
Speaker 1: didn't look like he was limping. He seemed like he

387
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:16,800
Speaker 1: was in good spirits, which you're right, because I saw

388
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:18,720
Speaker 1: that and I was like, Okay, he's fine. And then

389
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:21,439
Speaker 1: Friday morning it was like three to five weeks, right,

390
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:24,880
Speaker 1: So I have a hard time thinking, like five week injury.

391
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:27,920
Speaker 1: I just you know now what it feel like when

392
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:29,600
Speaker 1: you woke up will be the difference, right, right, And

393
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 1: it was kind of initially like an ankle sprain, but

394
00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:35,280
Speaker 1: then it's now it's a calf sprain. And you know

395
00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:38,440
Speaker 1: that's or calf's strain what I'm saying, But I mean

396
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:41,640
Speaker 1: that that's that's a different injury. So we'll see how

397
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:46,600
Speaker 1: they happen. It is. Nick knows all about cass. Like

398
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:48,679
Speaker 1: Dick and Ling, we talked about it. It's almost an

399
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:50,600
Speaker 1: outside joke now it's been talked about it. I hurt

400
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:53,080
Speaker 1: my calf, it still hurts two years later. Let's not

401
00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:56,400
Speaker 1: compare me to any NFL athlete because I'm not an

402
00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:59,120
Speaker 1: athlete and they are. But it does factor in your

403
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:03,240
Speaker 1: evaluation of injury. I'll tell you the difference. Though. Michael

404
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:05,280
Speaker 1: Gallup's not going to be a dumb ass and run

405
00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:07,400
Speaker 1: on it three days later. He's not going to do that.

406
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:12,000
Speaker 1: He's NFL guys a different breed. Burt Brown is going

407
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:16,040
Speaker 1: to make your ass on the training table that right

408
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:17,679
Speaker 1: there is the reason why he won't. All right, So

409
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:19,560
Speaker 1: tell me how do cowboys adjust to this? What do

410
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:21,720
Speaker 1: they need to do in his absence? And you started

411
00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 1: talking about this little league. But what do you need

412
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:25,800
Speaker 1: to do here? Well, I think you know, Cedric Wilson

413
00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:27,880
Speaker 1: has been ready for it. I mean he's got more

414
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:30,720
Speaker 1: reps with Dack than probably anybody. He's a he's a

415
00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:33,560
Speaker 1: he's a member of the back yard, you know club.

416
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:37,120
Speaker 1: So he goes out there and um does that, and

417
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:38,800
Speaker 1: I think he's I think he's got a good rapport

418
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:40,280
Speaker 1: with him. We saw it in a couple of games

419
00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:43,600
Speaker 1: last year or too, so I think Noah Brown will help. Also,

420
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:46,679
Speaker 1: I've kind of done a one eighty on my thoughts

421
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:50,200
Speaker 1: on Noah Brown. He's impressed me to the point where

422
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:53,399
Speaker 1: because I think he's playing like a big bodied receiver.

423
00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:55,200
Speaker 1: They tried to do it tight end stuff with him.

424
00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:58,560
Speaker 1: Now he's a big body receiver. He plays that way.

425
00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:01,880
Speaker 1: He made some contested catches. I would. I agree with you.

426
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:04,120
Speaker 1: I love the Dack yard is a thing. By the way.

427
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:06,800
Speaker 1: I love that. It's a feast. What an outstand. I

428
00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:08,960
Speaker 1: didn't come up with that. Somebody did it. That was amazing.

429
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:12,240
Speaker 1: That's that's a really good thing yard football. I agree

430
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:14,399
Speaker 1: with you, Noah is playing more like a big bodied receiver.

431
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:16,800
Speaker 1: But I saw um, you know, they were talking about

432
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:19,879
Speaker 1: Jarwin's miss block on the option play on the goal line,

433
00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:23,119
Speaker 1: and Zeke's mom on Twitter was like, I know, I

434
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:25,879
Speaker 1: know a guy who could probably make that block. And

435
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:27,760
Speaker 1: I was like, I see what she did there? Did

436
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:30,120
Speaker 1: she spell it that way? Yeah? I know a guy

437
00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:32,360
Speaker 1: n o a h a guy that could pull that off.

438
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:38,680
Speaker 1: And I was like, good, I like that, don absolutely yeah,

439
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:42,199
Speaker 1: yeah yeah yeah yeah. But I mean we that's some

440
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:46,080
Speaker 1: clever writing. I know a guy. Wow, that's that's that's

441
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:48,920
Speaker 1: something you would say, thank you, that's high praise. You

442
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:51,400
Speaker 1: would do that, you would do that. But um, she's

443
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:53,320
Speaker 1: a good follow. She's a really good finn. I don't

444
00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:55,600
Speaker 1: want to downplay. It sucks if Mike's going to be out.

445
00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:58,679
Speaker 1: He's a very good player and that sucks. But this

446
00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:00,320
Speaker 1: is a situation where I'm like, well, this is why

447
00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:02,920
Speaker 1: you kept these guys. This is why you weren't trying

448
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:06,479
Speaker 1: to shed salary and keep Simi Fehoko, Like, yeah, Cedric

449
00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:09,560
Speaker 1: Wilson probably has caught more balls from Dak Prescott than

450
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:11,840
Speaker 1: anybody on this team. If I had to guess, Noah's

451
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:15,240
Speaker 1: been here forever. They know the offense. Cedric's got some

452
00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:18,640
Speaker 1: inside outside flexibility the big thing for me, Like, if

453
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:20,880
Speaker 1: I'm thinking about it, I'm like, Okay, Cedric's probably first

454
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:23,600
Speaker 1: man up. Do you want him in the slot more

455
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:26,720
Speaker 1: with CD outside or do you want CD outside you know?

456
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:28,560
Speaker 1: Or do you want to move Cedric outside and keep

457
00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:30,359
Speaker 1: Ceding in the slot. Probably do a little bit of both.

458
00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:32,919
Speaker 1: But I'm just I'm not I'm not worried about that

459
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:35,000
Speaker 1: at all. Like that is an injury that you should

460
00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:37,320
Speaker 1: be able to absorb. That's why you kept two veteran

461
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:42,960
Speaker 1: arguably quote unquote overpriced receivers on the roster. Again, did

462
00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:46,200
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott's at a level where he's still got CD

463
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:49,040
Speaker 1: in Amari? So just fill that in with what you

464
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:50,639
Speaker 1: got and I think they should be fine. So let

465
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:53,399
Speaker 1: me go. I was just going back to that that

466
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:56,439
Speaker 1: thought about Noah Brown out there on that play. Noah

467
00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:59,440
Speaker 1: Brown is a much better person to have out there

468
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:03,160
Speaker 1: because because he's a receiver, I mean not yes, he's

469
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:05,760
Speaker 1: changes how the defense is gonna mess right now because

470
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:08,359
Speaker 1: you could be right on him. They could be pressed

471
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:10,119
Speaker 1: on Jarwin and then get buy him for the block.

472
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:12,160
Speaker 1: But if you, if you try that, Deck could change

473
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:14,359
Speaker 1: it and say wait a second, he thinks this corner,

474
00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:16,159
Speaker 1: thinks is gonna be a run. I got Noah, I

475
00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:18,639
Speaker 1: can no one could beat this guy. So yes, I

476
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:20,320
Speaker 1: think no one could do a much better job. I

477
00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:22,320
Speaker 1: think we all could. I mean, somebody can get a

478
00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:23,560
Speaker 1: hand on the guy, you know what I mean. And

479
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:25,720
Speaker 1: this isn't the first time we've seen Jarwin miss in

480
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:28,520
Speaker 1: the open fil that's not his thing. Blocking is These

481
00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:30,720
Speaker 1: tight ends aren't the greatest blockers. Yeah, we know that,

482
00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:33,960
Speaker 1: and but I think we were always kind of worried

483
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:37,480
Speaker 1: about the defensive end approach, like they're not going to

484
00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:39,919
Speaker 1: be very good if they get overpowered. But we're seeing

485
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:44,760
Speaker 1: them struggle more with corners and safeties knifing their way

486
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:48,200
Speaker 1: in space. So um, that's why I think Noah Brown

487
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:50,199
Speaker 1: would have been better there. This isn't it's not a

488
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:52,520
Speaker 1: crazy stat line, but Cedric caught all three of his

489
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:55,000
Speaker 1: targets for twenty four yards the other night. He blew

490
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:58,720
Speaker 1: up against Seattle when they needed him. I'm I wish

491
00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:01,720
Speaker 1: Michael Gallup was healthy, but I am not sweating this

492
00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:04,199
Speaker 1: the way that I'm sweating not having Lyle Collins. The

493
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:06,160
Speaker 1: one thing I would I would ask if you ask

494
00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:09,080
Speaker 1: about that, I agree with you that I think both

495
00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 1: those backup receivers can step in and fill inadequately. The

496
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:15,960
Speaker 1: one role I'm still wondering who's gonna take is the

497
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:18,960
Speaker 1: guy that's gonna stretch the field. Michael Gallup seems to

498
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:21,160
Speaker 1: be the guy that stretches the field for this offense.

499
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:23,399
Speaker 1: He's the guy that tends to get back deep and

500
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:26,960
Speaker 1: get those those big balls. I'm not sure if there's

501
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:29,080
Speaker 1: another person we've seen him are do it some I

502
00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:31,800
Speaker 1: don't think that's really CD's game. So who's going to

503
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:34,240
Speaker 1: really stretch to feel here? I'll bet you ten dollars.

504
00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:35,960
Speaker 1: CD could do it if you gave him the chance.

505
00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:38,280
Speaker 1: He just hasn't needed to now. I mean he can.

506
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:40,120
Speaker 1: He can go I mean we saw him all through

507
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:42,640
Speaker 1: training camp. He can go up and snatch the ball yea.

508
00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:45,359
Speaker 1: Like he's great at it. It just hasn't been something

509
00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:48,280
Speaker 1: that they've asked him to do. Amar's not He's not

510
00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:50,119
Speaker 1: the type to like box out, you know, but he

511
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:53,360
Speaker 1: gets open with his route running like no. I mean,

512
00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:56,080
Speaker 1: both of those guys can do that, Like Michael Gallup

513
00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:59,520
Speaker 1: is good at that, but it's he and it sounds

514
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:01,760
Speaker 1: like I'm talking trash, like I don't think he possesses

515
00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:04,399
Speaker 1: this elite skill set that nobody else on this roster

516
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:06,880
Speaker 1: can do. He just he just plays the role. By that, Yeah,

517
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:09,399
Speaker 1: he plays the role. But I think either one of

518
00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:12,480
Speaker 1: those other two can do that if I fast two. Yeah,

519
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:15,920
Speaker 1: I think Amari's has been one of the better deep

520
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:18,200
Speaker 1: threats on the team. I mean, he really can stretch

521
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:20,679
Speaker 1: the field. We saw it in that catch against Atlanta

522
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:23,119
Speaker 1: last year. We saw it against Washington on Thanksgiving. I mean,

523
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:25,439
Speaker 1: he can get by the defense. It doesn't look like it.

524
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:29,560
Speaker 1: You know, he's moving there. That's it. Never Amari's those

525
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:32,520
Speaker 1: long balls to him, it never looks as crazy because

526
00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:35,280
Speaker 1: Mike usually goes up and kind of does his Dez thing,

527
00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:37,200
Speaker 1: and CD's kind of got some of that to him

528
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:39,920
Speaker 1: as well. Amar's just a step and a half behind.

529
00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:42,600
Speaker 1: I mean, Amari reminds me a lot of and I

530
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:44,639
Speaker 1: know he's played eighteen years and he's Hall of Famer

531
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:46,240
Speaker 1: and all that, but he reminds me a lot of

532
00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:49,560
Speaker 1: Larry Fitzgerald and the fact that his route running is

533
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:52,880
Speaker 1: so good and and maybe not the fastest, but but

534
00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:55,359
Speaker 1: he gets it done, and he's getting it done for

535
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:58,200
Speaker 1: a long time now. He's maybe not as durable, and

536
00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:01,560
Speaker 1: if he plays that long, that'll be amazing. But I

537
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:04,640
Speaker 1: mean it's just it's never really flashy until you look

538
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:08,600
Speaker 1: at the stats and you're like, wow, that's pretty amazing. Yeah.

539
00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:11,000
Speaker 1: I mean I thought, you know, I said before about

540
00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:13,200
Speaker 1: that that that fumble that Dak had and he lost

541
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:14,800
Speaker 1: the fumble and he picked it up and threw it tomar.

542
00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:17,520
Speaker 1: But I you know, Amari was where he needed to

543
00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:19,879
Speaker 1: be too. I mean, Amari down at the goal line

544
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:22,760
Speaker 1: is a really really good route runner. We saw it

545
00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:25,040
Speaker 1: his first game. Was it his first game against the

546
00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:27,520
Speaker 1: Titans when he came in, We saw that touchdown. I mean,

547
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:30,119
Speaker 1: we just he is. He can be really good. So

548
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:31,600
Speaker 1: if they're not going to run the ball, if they

549
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:33,520
Speaker 1: can't run the ball, at least you got a guy

550
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:36,560
Speaker 1: down there that can win those quick in bone booth

551
00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:39,160
Speaker 1: type plays. Ye. All right, we're gonna take our final

552
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:41,200
Speaker 1: break when we come back, We're gonna talk a little

553
00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:44,320
Speaker 1: bit about this team's identity. We've been watching Dak Prescott

554
00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:47,040
Speaker 1: do some pretty amazing things going back to last year,

555
00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:49,480
Speaker 1: and the question for these guys is has the identity

556
00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:51,639
Speaker 1: of this team changed? Are they now a passing team?

557
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:54,360
Speaker 1: Firmly and no longer a team that relies on the run.

558
00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:55,639
Speaker 1: We'll talk about that when we come right back. This

Speaker 1: WBC Mortgage Studios at the Star. Let's talk a little

602
00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:22,160
Speaker 1: team identity. This team, from the time that they drafted

603
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:25,240
Speaker 1: Zeke Elliott was a team that I think we all

604
00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:28,400
Speaker 1: will I would say I certainly thought. I would assume

605
00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:31,000
Speaker 1: you guys thought was a run first team that they

606
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:33,840
Speaker 1: were built around the offensive line and the running back.

607
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:37,120
Speaker 1: I think over the last year, going back to the

608
00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:39,400
Speaker 1: game's last season that Dak played before he was hurt,

609
00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:41,800
Speaker 1: and then what we saw in Week one against Tampa Bay,

610
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:44,080
Speaker 1: to me, it has become a parent that this is

611
00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:47,240
Speaker 1: a team that is a passing team. The past sets

612
00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:49,720
Speaker 1: up the run. They rely on the past far more

613
00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:51,720
Speaker 1: than they rely on the run. Do you guys agree

614
00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:54,240
Speaker 1: with that sentiment? I think I made that switch in

615
00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:58,080
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen. Honestly, I mean that's when I really and

616
00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:00,840
Speaker 1: maybe you know down the back half of twenty eighteen,

617
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:06,200
Speaker 1: that's I mean, when Amari Cooper got here, a switch flipped,

618
00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:08,680
Speaker 1: and I think Amari was a big part in jump

619
00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:12,360
Speaker 1: starting that because Dak absolutely needed a receiver of that caliber.

620
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:16,800
Speaker 1: But over time he has grown and evolved, and that's

621
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:19,040
Speaker 1: going back to my point about the offensive line, Like

622
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:22,720
Speaker 1: he is now a quarterback that has that type of

623
00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:25,280
Speaker 1: command over the offense that it would be silly to

624
00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:27,280
Speaker 1: not have the offense run through him. Yeah, I mean

625
00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:29,840
Speaker 1: a lot of it has been personnel. That that's you mean,

626
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:33,200
Speaker 1: look at the receivers that were here when when Dak

627
00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:36,360
Speaker 1: when you thought that statement, when Zeke was running the

628
00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:37,959
Speaker 1: way he was running, the line was blocking. I mean,

629
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:41,520
Speaker 1: the receivers weren't. That wasn't the best position group on

630
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:43,840
Speaker 1: the team. But it's over time. You know, they hit

631
00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:45,720
Speaker 1: on a third round pick with Gallup. I mean, he's

632
00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:47,560
Speaker 1: been a really good third round pick, and then, like

633
00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:50,160
Speaker 1: you said, they traded for Amari and then they just said,

634
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:53,400
Speaker 1: we cannot pass on Cede Lamb even though doesn't make

635
00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:56,360
Speaker 1: the most sense, it does if we can, you know,

636
00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:59,120
Speaker 1: if they can work together, and so then that's helped

637
00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:01,680
Speaker 1: Dak grow and an offensive line hasn't been the same

638
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:05,680
Speaker 1: though too. Offensive line isn't as good as they've been.

639
00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:07,640
Speaker 1: They haven't been as dominant in the run game. So

640
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:10,720
Speaker 1: I think there's just been a shift. Well there's been

641
00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:12,960
Speaker 1: a shift in the sport of football too. And like,

642
00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:16,920
Speaker 1: and I love analytics, I'm not good enough at math

643
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:19,800
Speaker 1: to really understand them the way that I would prefer.

644
00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:21,760
Speaker 1: You know, like there's some people that are just like, well,

645
00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:25,800
Speaker 1: this point three eight EPA means this. I'm like, I

646
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:28,239
Speaker 1: want to understand this better. But you can look at

647
00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:30,840
Speaker 1: all of these charts and realize, like this is a

648
00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:36,240
Speaker 1: passing leak, and the difference in pat like your success

649
00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:39,000
Speaker 1: rate passing and what throwing the ball can do for you.

650
00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:43,120
Speaker 1: It's it's it's there's no denying it. And even teams

651
00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:46,960
Speaker 1: like Tennessee, for example, who have this amazing running back

652
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:50,560
Speaker 1: and everybody's afraid of Derrick Henry, they make their bread

653
00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:53,280
Speaker 1: off of play action. Like people are so afraid of

654
00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:55,920
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry, they use that to their advantage. Ryan Tannehill

655
00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:58,800
Speaker 1: has had a career renaissance since he got there because

656
00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:01,520
Speaker 1: he throws off of the threat he throws off the

657
00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:04,680
Speaker 1: threat of the run. So even teams like that, you

658
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:07,120
Speaker 1: need to be throwing the ball to really be tapping

659
00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:09,840
Speaker 1: into your offense as well as you should. And I

660
00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:13,640
Speaker 1: commend the Cowboys for realizing that. I commend Kellen Moore.

661
00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:16,440
Speaker 1: Is that a winning strategy for this team? Though? Because

662
00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:18,640
Speaker 1: if you go back to last year, they were three

663
00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:21,440
Speaker 1: or four losses in those first four games that Dak

664
00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:24,040
Speaker 1: started and played throughout the game. They lost the first

665
00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:27,000
Speaker 1: game to this season, and the only game that they

666
00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:29,720
Speaker 1: won in the last last year and this year with

667
00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:33,400
Speaker 1: Dak doing this was against Atlanta where they had to

668
00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:36,320
Speaker 1: come back from this what we thought was an insurmountable

669
00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:38,800
Speaker 1: lead that they'd given up and win by a point.

670
00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:41,400
Speaker 1: So is this a winning strategy for Dallas? Now? I

671
00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:43,080
Speaker 1: know this can be a winning strategy around the league.

672
00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:45,720
Speaker 1: We've seen other teams do it. My question is really

673
00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:49,720
Speaker 1: is Dak good enough and is the rest of the

674
00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:51,800
Speaker 1: team around him the other things that have to work

675
00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:54,000
Speaker 1: the way that they have to work for this strategy

676
00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:56,360
Speaker 1: to be successful. Debt for Dallas, I'll throw in the

677
00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:59,680
Speaker 1: caveat that. I mean, in the NFL, you need to

678
00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:01,840
Speaker 1: be able to run the football in certain times and

679
00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:05,600
Speaker 1: it would certainly be nice. Hopefully against lesser competition than

680
00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:08,720
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay, you can have some second half leads that

681
00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:12,240
Speaker 1: allow you to use Ezekiel Elliott. Not that you need to,

682
00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:15,360
Speaker 1: but yeah, I mean that is that's very beneficial. Like

683
00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:17,640
Speaker 1: there's all there's an argument on social media all the

684
00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:20,040
Speaker 1: time where it's like, well, when Zeke runs twenty five times,

685
00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:22,560
Speaker 1: they win this amount of time. Why why do they

686
00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:24,680
Speaker 1: win so often when Zeke touches the ball twenty five

687
00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:26,320
Speaker 1: times Because they have a lead and you get to

688
00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:29,440
Speaker 1: lean on the opposition. That is a valuable thing and

689
00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:31,440
Speaker 1: I don't want them to get away from it completely.

690
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:34,680
Speaker 1: But time and time again, we you know, teams show

691
00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:38,640
Speaker 1: that you can absolutely win being that skewed toward the pass.

692
00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:42,600
Speaker 1: I know it's not fair to compare anybody to Patrick Mahomes,

693
00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:46,080
Speaker 1: but they do it all the time. And for that matter,

694
00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:48,760
Speaker 1: the reason the Cowboys had such a crappy record, in

695
00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:52,160
Speaker 1: my opinion last year, it was turnover differential more than anything.

696
00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:54,120
Speaker 1: I mean, they were in those holes because they were

697
00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:55,960
Speaker 1: turning the ball over two and three times in the

698
00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:58,840
Speaker 1: first quarter every week. Outside of Pat Mahomes. You brought

699
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:01,320
Speaker 1: up an interesting point. Outside of a Mahomes. Obviously, he's

700
00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:03,520
Speaker 1: the best quarterback in the league. I think Dak is

701
00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:06,000
Speaker 1: up there and probably top five quarterbacks in the league.

702
00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:09,400
Speaker 1: But putting that aside, what else does Kansas City have

703
00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:15,080
Speaker 1: that Maybe Dallas doesn't have track speed, a tight end

704
00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:19,480
Speaker 1: that's a big receiver. I mean they have mismatched problems.

705
00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:22,080
Speaker 1: What they have they have? I mean they have Tyreek Hill,

706
00:34:22,160 --> 00:34:24,920
Speaker 1: who can just go and then they how do you

707
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:27,239
Speaker 1: how do you try to I mean that one two

708
00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:29,759
Speaker 1: punch is so dynamic because if you're gonna try to

709
00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:32,560
Speaker 1: cover Travis Kelsey, you have to you have to get

710
00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:35,160
Speaker 1: some kind of safety or corner help. Well, then what

711
00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:37,319
Speaker 1: are you doing over here with Tyreek Hill? I mean, like,

712
00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:41,439
Speaker 1: and that's that's just an amazing one two combination. Those

713
00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:44,200
Speaker 1: guys are just amazing and and and then you got

714
00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:46,640
Speaker 1: you got a great quarterback there. Does Dallas do a

715
00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:49,360
Speaker 1: similar thing from a matchup standpoint, Not necessarily from the

716
00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:51,759
Speaker 1: standpoint of two guys that are that dynamic, but from

717
00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:54,879
Speaker 1: a standpoint they have so many different parts that are

718
00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:58,080
Speaker 1: hard matchups that maybe they create that same sort of

719
00:34:58,120 --> 00:35:00,520
Speaker 1: matchup problem for the team. Have some matchup problems but

720
00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:03,640
Speaker 1: because they have it more in numbers yet, right, But

721
00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:06,520
Speaker 1: but nothing that's just you know, I've said this before.

722
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:10,120
Speaker 1: They don't have anybody that's that's in that top five

723
00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:14,200
Speaker 1: of their position other than guard, and now we're maybe

724
00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:15,880
Speaker 1: moving him to dackle, which I don't think he'd be

725
00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:18,279
Speaker 1: a top five tackle. I don't think. I don't want to.

726
00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:20,600
Speaker 1: I don't want to doubt him. I don't want to

727
00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:22,839
Speaker 1: bet again. I don't want to bet against them. But

728
00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:26,000
Speaker 1: I mean, thirty two teams decided that he was a guard,

729
00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:27,759
Speaker 1: so I mean, I think he can play it, but

730
00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:29,919
Speaker 1: I think there's a reason they could be special at guard,

731
00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:33,160
Speaker 1: and he has been. I just don't so. But Kansas

732
00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:35,800
Speaker 1: City has a top five receiver, they've got the number

733
00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:39,880
Speaker 1: one quarterback, the number one tied in, so they got it.

734
00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:43,160
Speaker 1: They got some special things going on that The Cowboys

735
00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:46,200
Speaker 1: have some good pieces, but they don't have elite pieces.

736
00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:50,000
Speaker 1: Dak's getting there though. At quarterback, he just he just is.

737
00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:52,319
Speaker 1: But they've got to they've got to show that. You know,

738
00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:54,720
Speaker 1: the defense is going to have to help him as well.

739
00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:57,440
Speaker 1: I think at the well, it sucks that Michael Gallup

740
00:35:57,480 --> 00:35:59,360
Speaker 1: has now hurt for a few weeks. But the some

741
00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:01,799
Speaker 1: the sum of all the parts, I think. I mean,

742
00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:04,600
Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey's the best tight end in the league. Tyree Hill,

743
00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:08,360
Speaker 1: I mean, did you see did you see him yesterday?

744
00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:10,839
Speaker 1: He does it every week. Yeah, But I think if

745
00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:13,960
Speaker 1: everybody sum of all the parts is on Dallas, I'll

746
00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:16,160
Speaker 1: put it up there against Kansas City all day. They Yeah,

747
00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:18,839
Speaker 1: they don't have something as freaky special as Tyreek Hill,

748
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:21,840
Speaker 1: but I mean they got three guys that are going

749
00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:25,360
Speaker 1: to get open against almost anybody. And that's you're asking

750
00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:26,800
Speaker 1: me this and that. I think that's why I was

751
00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:33,800
Speaker 1: so excited on Friday is they played unbalanced football quote

752
00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:37,280
Speaker 1: unquote in the traditional way. I would still argue again,

753
00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:40,040
Speaker 1: you can create hidden rushing yards, like a third of

754
00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:43,280
Speaker 1: Dack's pass attempts were basically rushes when you think about

755
00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:46,680
Speaker 1: screens and stuff like that. But they were as unbalanced

756
00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:49,120
Speaker 1: as we've seen them in forever, and they came right

757
00:36:49,200 --> 00:36:51,680
Speaker 1: down to the wire against one of the best defenses

758
00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:55,400
Speaker 1: in the NFL. That and that is incredibly impressive to

759
00:36:55,440 --> 00:36:59,239
Speaker 1: me that by the third quarter Tampa Bay had to

760
00:36:59,239 --> 00:37:02,000
Speaker 1: know exactly what was coming and they still couldn't stop

761
00:37:02,080 --> 00:37:04,600
Speaker 1: him reliably. Obviously, Dallas lost the game. We get that,

762
00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:07,400
Speaker 1: but they were almost fifty percent on third downs. They

763
00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:10,239
Speaker 1: scored twenty nine points the red zone. Not good enough.

764
00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:12,520
Speaker 1: That's got to be better. But that is such an

765
00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:15,799
Speaker 1: encouraging thing to see against such a stout defense, in

766
00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:18,080
Speaker 1: my opinion. But let me let me play devil's advocate here,

767
00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:21,520
Speaker 1: because when you look at a team where they got

768
00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:24,200
Speaker 1: four takeaways, they won the turnover a battle by plus three.

769
00:37:24,760 --> 00:37:27,680
Speaker 1: They also one time of possession by huge amount. I

770
00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:29,920
Speaker 1: think it was thirty four twenty seven to twenty five

771
00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:33,120
Speaker 1: thirty three. Typically, when you see a game with those

772
00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:35,680
Speaker 1: two stats like that, you should win. You should win,

773
00:37:35,719 --> 00:37:37,839
Speaker 1: You should so are you? I know we all came

774
00:37:37,840 --> 00:37:40,080
Speaker 1: out of that game on Friday Field and like, okay, man,

775
00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:42,680
Speaker 1: they really played some good football against the Super Bowl champs.

776
00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:44,839
Speaker 1: But when you look at those kind of numbers, it

777
00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:48,040
Speaker 1: makes you say they really should have won that game

778
00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:50,520
Speaker 1: going away. You would think when you see those numbers

779
00:37:50,520 --> 00:37:52,279
Speaker 1: like that, are you at all concerned about the fact

780
00:37:52,320 --> 00:37:54,440
Speaker 1: that they may have put out their very best game

781
00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:57,520
Speaker 1: and that wasn't enough. That's the Cleveland Browns how they

782
00:37:57,520 --> 00:38:01,120
Speaker 1: feel today. But I mean the Cleveland yeah talking about

783
00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:03,560
Speaker 1: are probably one of the best three teams in the NFL.

784
00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:06,279
Speaker 1: And then the brown You know, you could tell if

785
00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:09,280
Speaker 1: you watch that Chiefs Browns game, that was the Browns

786
00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:11,359
Speaker 1: were like, we are here to make a statement. This

787
00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:13,200
Speaker 1: is the team we know we've got to beat. From

788
00:38:13,239 --> 00:38:14,799
Speaker 1: the very beginning, they were like, I mean, they got

789
00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:16,759
Speaker 1: went for two on the first possession, they were throwing

790
00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:20,280
Speaker 1: haymaker after haymaker. They lost it. Yeah, and it sucks.

791
00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:22,239
Speaker 1: It's I mean, this is a tough league. Yeah. And

792
00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:24,799
Speaker 1: those two teams, those are the top two teams. They

793
00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:27,160
Speaker 1: played in the super Bowl. And so you know, for

794
00:38:27,239 --> 00:38:28,880
Speaker 1: us to sit here in Week two and say, okay,

795
00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:30,920
Speaker 1: well doesn't look like the Cowboys are better than the

796
00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:33,239
Speaker 1: super Bowl champs right now? Well, okay, we didn't need

797
00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:34,960
Speaker 1: a game to see that. We didn't think that was

798
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:37,840
Speaker 1: the case. You know, but you know, you have to

799
00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:40,520
Speaker 1: bounce back. You have to bounce back and show it here.

800
00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:43,120
Speaker 1: I've said it numerous years and I'll say it again.

801
00:38:43,160 --> 00:38:45,360
Speaker 1: That's why week two is so important. You've got to

802
00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:47,319
Speaker 1: go out there. You've got to establish yourself. You can't

803
00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:49,000
Speaker 1: be in that OZ and two hole. And if you

804
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:50,960
Speaker 1: look at what they're doing on social media. The Chargers,

805
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:52,319
Speaker 1: you don't want to get you don't want to take

806
00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:55,560
Speaker 1: an l to them and what they've got working in

807
00:38:55,640 --> 00:38:57,920
Speaker 1: over there, because if they're gonna do that to Washington,

808
00:38:58,120 --> 00:39:00,439
Speaker 1: just think what they'll do to the Cowboys. They their

809
00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:04,080
Speaker 1: social team was probably brainstorming for our game in June.

810
00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:07,319
Speaker 1: M guessing they got some options. That's you're so right

811
00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:10,080
Speaker 1: even know what I'm talking about what they did, Okay,

812
00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:11,799
Speaker 1: but I'm seeing some of those stuff they I mean,

813
00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:13,759
Speaker 1: they know, yeah, as you said that, I was like,

814
00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:15,680
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go look at it, but I can pretty

815
00:39:15,760 --> 00:39:18,600
Speaker 1: much guess that they did something pretty oh yeah, yeah,

816
00:39:18,719 --> 00:39:21,880
Speaker 1: and it was the Washington It's funny because in the

817
00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:25,600
Speaker 1: big picture, well, I mean, they can afford to start

818
00:39:25,600 --> 00:39:27,640
Speaker 1: O in two. Honestly, in my opinion, when you look

819
00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:31,320
Speaker 1: at you know, after that, you go Eagles, Panthers, Giants,

820
00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:35,160
Speaker 1: Patriots like those are all flawed teams. You do obviously,

821
00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:37,000
Speaker 1: you need to win as many games as you can,

822
00:39:37,120 --> 00:39:39,680
Speaker 1: but they could climb out of O and two in

823
00:39:39,719 --> 00:39:43,000
Speaker 1: my opinion. But it's just it's just it's about consistency,

824
00:39:43,120 --> 00:39:46,520
Speaker 1: and that has been probably the most maddening thing about

825
00:39:46,560 --> 00:39:49,040
Speaker 1: this team for the entire time that I've covered it

826
00:39:49,120 --> 00:39:52,960
Speaker 1: is they're schizophrenic. You never know what you're gonna get,

827
00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:56,719
Speaker 1: and it would be it would be so cowboys for

828
00:39:56,760 --> 00:39:59,400
Speaker 1: them to go out there against you know, and the

829
00:39:59,480 --> 00:40:01,319
Speaker 1: Chargers are good team. Don't get me like this is

830
00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:03,880
Speaker 1: this is they are a very good team. This is

831
00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:05,960
Speaker 1: not a gimmey game. That's not what I'm saying. But

832
00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:09,640
Speaker 1: we feel great about how they played against Tampa. It

833
00:40:09,640 --> 00:40:11,880
Speaker 1: would be very cowboys for them to play like crap.

834
00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:14,280
Speaker 1: I don't just mean lose, I mean play like crap

835
00:40:14,360 --> 00:40:16,960
Speaker 1: against LA And I hope that doesn't happen, but you

836
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:18,920
Speaker 1: can't say it would surprise you. You You look at the

837
00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:21,719
Speaker 1: defense and I talked about the four takeaways. They also

838
00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:24,120
Speaker 1: stopped the run, which is another thing that you put

839
00:40:24,200 --> 00:40:27,520
Speaker 1: in their category as far as something that that seems

840
00:40:27,560 --> 00:40:31,040
Speaker 1: to be an improvement. The passing game, though they the

841
00:40:31,120 --> 00:40:34,360
Speaker 1: defense had some some issues. Obviously, again you're talking about

842
00:40:34,719 --> 00:40:38,520
Speaker 1: one of the top three maybe passing offenses in the NFL.

843
00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:41,200
Speaker 1: That all being said, how concerned are you with what

844
00:40:41,239 --> 00:40:44,759
Speaker 1: they gave up in the passing game against the Tampa

845
00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:49,239
Speaker 1: Bay Buccaneers. I mean concerning because we knew that the secondary,

846
00:40:49,320 --> 00:40:52,600
Speaker 1: especially the cornerback position is not one of the strengths

847
00:40:53,040 --> 00:40:56,600
Speaker 1: um Tampa Bay obviously with a great receiving corps and

848
00:40:56,719 --> 00:41:00,800
Speaker 1: the best quarterback to play. So yeah, I mean it was.

849
00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:04,200
Speaker 1: It was not a favorable matchup. They once they won

850
00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:06,919
Speaker 1: their sheriff times, but I mean they were beaten like

851
00:41:06,920 --> 00:41:09,160
Speaker 1: like they expected. I mean, like we expected that to be.

852
00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:10,759
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't want to sit there and say

853
00:41:10,760 --> 00:41:13,759
Speaker 1: Anthony Brown needs to be bench I mean number one

854
00:41:13,840 --> 00:41:16,480
Speaker 1: for who I mean. And then well, that is the question.

855
00:41:16,560 --> 00:41:18,040
Speaker 1: Like there are a lot of fans out there, and

856
00:41:18,360 --> 00:41:20,120
Speaker 1: again I'm not saying that this is the right answer,

857
00:41:20,160 --> 00:41:21,759
Speaker 1: but there are fans out there. They are like, you

858
00:41:21,840 --> 00:41:24,120
Speaker 1: invested in a second round and a third round pick.

859
00:41:24,360 --> 00:41:26,920
Speaker 1: The second round is not healthy. I got that. But Kelvin,

860
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:30,040
Speaker 1: Joseph Nashean Wright, those are guys you invested second and

861
00:41:30,120 --> 00:41:33,560
Speaker 1: third round picks in. Should you be at least putting

862
00:41:33,600 --> 00:41:35,840
Speaker 1: them out there and letting them start to learn? Is

863
00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:38,160
Speaker 1: that better than what you got right now from Anthony Brown?

864
00:41:38,239 --> 00:41:41,360
Speaker 1: Absolutely not. It isn't. It isn't better. I mean, Trayvon

865
00:41:41,480 --> 00:41:44,200
Speaker 1: digs it, I get it. He had to learn on

866
00:41:44,239 --> 00:41:46,680
Speaker 1: the flight. He was the best by the way, Yeah,

867
00:41:46,719 --> 00:41:49,919
Speaker 1: he was the best option. I don't think Nishan Wright

868
00:41:50,080 --> 00:41:53,240
Speaker 1: is ready for that. Anthony Brown is a solid player.

869
00:41:53,840 --> 00:41:57,000
Speaker 1: He just he is. He's a solid corner that he's virtual,

870
00:41:57,080 --> 00:41:59,800
Speaker 1: he can kind of go inside outside. No one's thinking

871
00:41:59,840 --> 00:42:02,120
Speaker 1: he's gonna, you know, wondering when he's going in the

872
00:42:02,200 --> 00:42:04,319
Speaker 1: Ring of honor. No one's wondering about that. He's not

873
00:42:04,360 --> 00:42:06,239
Speaker 1: going to be a Pro Bowl player. That's not what

874
00:42:06,280 --> 00:42:10,800
Speaker 1: he is. He's he's a solid guy. And to assume

875
00:42:10,840 --> 00:42:12,640
Speaker 1: that there's just so many guys that are better on

876
00:42:12,680 --> 00:42:14,879
Speaker 1: the street or better on this team is just not here.

877
00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:20,160
Speaker 1: Maybe Joseph when he gets healthy, your best was healthy,

878
00:42:20,239 --> 00:42:23,040
Speaker 1: he wouldn't be playing over Anthony Brown. He hasn't shown that.

879
00:42:23,160 --> 00:42:26,919
Speaker 1: And that's I agree with everything you just said about Ab.

880
00:42:28,120 --> 00:42:31,120
Speaker 1: The brutal reality is he's also you know, he's probably

881
00:42:31,160 --> 00:42:33,920
Speaker 1: gonna get circled by the opposing offense and game plan meetings.

882
00:42:33,920 --> 00:42:36,040
Speaker 1: They're like, this is a matchup that we feel good about.

883
00:42:36,080 --> 00:42:39,440
Speaker 1: It is what it is. I mean, yeah, would be

884
00:42:39,440 --> 00:42:45,120
Speaker 1: circled twice. That's we did this in the preseason. Everybody

885
00:42:45,200 --> 00:42:47,480
Speaker 1: was clamoring for Kelvin and he went and he had

886
00:42:47,560 --> 00:42:50,720
Speaker 1: like an awful first series against Arizona and he got

887
00:42:50,760 --> 00:42:52,640
Speaker 1: he got a he got flagged and then he got

888
00:42:52,680 --> 00:42:55,839
Speaker 1: bombed on like the next play. Nashan Right, I'm so

889
00:42:55,880 --> 00:42:59,120
Speaker 1: impressed with what he's done. I don't I don't see

890
00:42:59,120 --> 00:43:02,839
Speaker 1: that going well, especially a long strider like him going

891
00:43:02,880 --> 00:43:06,360
Speaker 1: against somebody like Antonio Brown. Come on, yeah, stop stop

892
00:43:07,160 --> 00:43:09,959
Speaker 1: and it is what it is. I just I feel

893
00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:12,439
Speaker 1: like I said it all through the spring, as soon

894
00:43:12,520 --> 00:43:14,759
Speaker 1: as Horn and Certan went off the board. This is

895
00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:17,759
Speaker 1: the reality that you were signing up for, is we're

896
00:43:17,760 --> 00:43:20,440
Speaker 1: going to be in a holding pattern and our best,

897
00:43:20,440 --> 00:43:24,040
Speaker 1: our best hope is that Kelvin Joseph, much like Treyvon

898
00:43:24,120 --> 00:43:27,640
Speaker 1: Diggs last year, sort of starts putting it together as

899
00:43:27,640 --> 00:43:29,920
Speaker 1: the season goes and maybe in the latter half of

900
00:43:29,920 --> 00:43:31,920
Speaker 1: the year he can be a viable option. But to

901
00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:34,480
Speaker 1: think that he ordn Sean Wright is going to come

902
00:43:34,480 --> 00:43:36,160
Speaker 1: in and be better than somebody that's been in the

903
00:43:36,200 --> 00:43:39,200
Speaker 1: league for five years right away, it's delusional. I'm sorry,

904
00:43:39,280 --> 00:43:40,719
Speaker 1: but you have. The point is you got to give

905
00:43:40,760 --> 00:43:42,719
Speaker 1: them time to get there. They may be long term

906
00:43:42,760 --> 00:43:45,560
Speaker 1: better prospects, they're not there yet. I will say that.

907
00:43:45,640 --> 00:43:48,080
Speaker 1: And on the flip side. I think something to feel

908
00:43:48,080 --> 00:43:53,080
Speaker 1: good about. Treyvon Diggs played really really well. I and I,

909
00:43:53,200 --> 00:43:56,680
Speaker 1: you know, hopefully really I need game Pass to have

910
00:43:56,760 --> 00:43:59,040
Speaker 1: all twenty two up this week. They say somebody reported,

911
00:43:59,400 --> 00:44:01,759
Speaker 1: let me report yesterday. You say that, Yeah, I don't

912
00:44:01,800 --> 00:44:03,839
Speaker 1: know how much he traveled with Mike Evans. I don't

913
00:44:03,840 --> 00:44:05,360
Speaker 1: know if it was every snap, but he was on

914
00:44:05,480 --> 00:44:07,400
Speaker 1: him a lot. And Mike Mike Evans did not have

915
00:44:07,440 --> 00:44:10,200
Speaker 1: the jack, which you can say, well, yeah, why you're

916
00:44:10,200 --> 00:44:12,440
Speaker 1: gonna throw up Mike Evans if Antonio Brown's always open,

917
00:44:12,680 --> 00:44:16,120
Speaker 1: but not every team they play is gonna have three studs.

918
00:44:16,920 --> 00:44:19,800
Speaker 1: You know, you get into some matchups with more normal

919
00:44:19,840 --> 00:44:22,640
Speaker 1: receiving corps. Maybe it's not as gross as it looked

920
00:44:22,640 --> 00:44:24,880
Speaker 1: on third starters have one really good one they do

921
00:44:25,160 --> 00:44:28,919
Speaker 1: and he Mike Williams no Ena all okay, I thought

922
00:44:28,920 --> 00:44:31,520
Speaker 1: you were being serious. I was like, well, Keenan Allen

923
00:44:31,920 --> 00:44:34,400
Speaker 1: Williams I think led him yesterday. Did he not leave?

924
00:44:34,440 --> 00:44:36,480
Speaker 1: Mike Williams is there, He's their first round pick. I

925
00:44:36,600 --> 00:44:40,400
Speaker 1: think receiving he's good too. Yeah, yeah, I need college

926
00:44:40,440 --> 00:44:42,480
Speaker 1: I need a college name for those guys like that.

927
00:44:42,719 --> 00:44:46,239
Speaker 1: Mike Williams. I feel like Mike Williams in the league,

928
00:44:45,520 --> 00:44:49,840
Speaker 1: and I would have said, I do think the Chargers

929
00:44:49,880 --> 00:44:53,160
Speaker 1: have the Chargers have two really And but the reason

930
00:44:53,200 --> 00:44:56,040
Speaker 1: I kind of balked is because I do think Keenan

931
00:44:56,080 --> 00:44:59,560
Speaker 1: Allen is probably the most criminally underrated player in the league.

932
00:44:59,600 --> 00:45:03,640
Speaker 1: Like no buddy, nobody knows about Yeah. So also when

933
00:45:03,680 --> 00:45:06,279
Speaker 1: you play in with the Chargers, like sometimes it's hard

934
00:45:06,320 --> 00:45:08,520
Speaker 1: to get that kind of profile. I'll tell you what,

935
00:45:08,600 --> 00:45:11,359
Speaker 1: if it's Monday, if I can go the whole week

936
00:45:11,560 --> 00:45:15,120
Speaker 1: with calling them just LA and Chargers like, it'll be

937
00:45:15,160 --> 00:45:17,200
Speaker 1: a win. And on me too, because I've heard it

938
00:45:17,280 --> 00:45:20,040
Speaker 1: last week. I've heard I've heard San Diego twice on

939
00:45:20,080 --> 00:45:23,000
Speaker 1: our other shows. It's just I think I said it

940
00:45:23,080 --> 00:45:25,680
Speaker 1: last week. I think I sit all right. We'll appreciate

00:45:29,080 --> 00:45:31,280
Speaker 1: See what's going on in the NFC East. That's pretty

944
00:45:31,320 --> 00:45:33,959
